ORDINANCE DEDICATING A STREET EASEMENT AND A SNOW STORAGE EASEMENT
OVER CERTAIN CITY PROPERTY IN THE VICINITY OF MESABA AVENUE AND
WEST EIGHTH STREET AND AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF PROPERTY REMAINDER
TO EDNA M. DAVIS.

BY
COUNCILOR STOVER:

The
city of Duluth does ordain:

Section 1.That
the city of Duluth hereby dedicates to the general public an easement
for street and roadway purposes over the following described property
in St. Louis County, Minnesota, and to execute all documents necessary
thereto:

All
that part of Lot 8, Block 90, Duluth Proper Third Division; lying southeasterly
of the following described line: beginning at a point on the west line
of said Lot 8 distant 94 feet south of the northwest corner of said Lot
8; thence in a northeasterly direction 78.1 feet more or less to a point
on the east line of said Lot 8; said point distant 34 feet south of the
northeast corner of Lot 8, and there terminating.

Section
2.That the city of Duluth hereby dedicates to the general
public an easement for snow storage purposes over the following described
property:

Across
and upon all of the northerly ten feet of said Lot 8.

Section
3.That upon recording of the easements granted pursuant
to sections 1 and 2 above in the office of the county recorder for St.
Louis County, Minnesota, the proper city officials are hereby authorized
to sell and convey the following described property in St. Louis County,
Minnesota, by quit claim deed, to Edna M. Davis for $1,890, to be deposited
in General Fund 0100-700-1448-4640, and to execute all documents necessary
with regard to said conveyance:

All
of Lot 8, Block 90, Duluth Proper Third Division according to the recorded
plat thereof. Excepting and reserving to the state of Minnesota, in trust
for taxing districts concerned, all minerals and mineral rights, as provided
by law.

Subject
to easements and encumbrances of record.

Section
4.That this ordinance shall take effect 30 days from
and after its passage and publication.

STATEMENT
OF PURPOSE: The purpose of this ordinance is to authorize the
dedication of a street and utility easement over the southeasterly portion
of Lot 8, Block 90, Duluth Proper Third Division. Additionally, the northerly
ten feet of Lot 8 will be reserved by the city for winter snow storage
due to dead end Eighth Street therefore allowing street plowing equipment
adequate space for turning and maneuvering.

Since
Lot 8 has been owned by the city for many years, no previous actions have
taken place to formalize the Mesaba Avenue street easement across Lot
8. Once both easements have been recorded, Lot 8 will be sold via direct
sale to the adjacent property owner (Edna M. Davis) as Lot 8 is unbuildable.
